haha, very fun.  Even though I couldn't manage to get more than 50% of it.  man,
that dude should be rapping...

Yes, it's pretty much like that, except the parody review doesn't account for
the mindblowing audio-visual artwork backing up the frantic pure arcade action
with puzzles in between.  It's impact is huge in setting the mood and I'd say
this is the best take on greek mythology in mainstream entertainment in ages.
Hollywood's recent Clash of the Titans pales by comparison, not just to the
artistry, but even the lame-o script.

The theme of revenge may be quite tiresome, but they've put quite an imaginative
spin to dozens of elements of the myths, binding them together in rather amusing
ways.  I've replayed the first 2 games just now, eager to get my hands on a
PS3...

I've seen people saying they play the game in very easy mode just to
effortlessly enjoy the ride. :)
